If it involves "design" and fresh ideas, Trudy is ready and willing to deliver!

Innovation and communication through design is Trudy's strength!

She is a former lecturer in Multimedia and Design and has a deep understanding of the fundamentals of design. From a background in Journalism, Media and the Arts, a degree from Griffith University and over 10 years industry experience, Trudy works from a solid foundation of knowledge and belief in the synergy of form and function. Her specialty is Interface Design and print media.

After hours she indulges her love of music and creative pursuits such as jewellery making, painting and home renovation.

Her advice for clients "Know your market, find a meaningful way of reaching them and follow through with a consistent campaign."

Aimee is tall. It’s a much-exclaimed comment by everybody that meets her (or faces hers on a netball court). But there is so much more to this talented gal.
Aimee’s specialty is print media, translating her client’s business information into promotional artwork for everything from logos to vehicle signage.
Best of all, she handles the potentially scary printing process for clients from beginning to delivery of the final product.

Away from the design world, Aimee can be found on the touch football field, on the netball court or indulging her love of shopping.

Aimee’s advice: “Never underestimate the power of white space.”

Web programming is Carey’s game, and a Bachelor of Information Technology (distinction) from Central Queensland University makes him a finely tuned programming machine!

Carey combines his talents with his partners in website development Stephen, Shanan and Justin. Carey’s desk is dented from too many collisions with his forehead, but it helps him get the job done brilliantly.

Carey’s advice: “A well-designed website can bring you visitors, but it’s up to you to keep providing up-to-date, relevant and accurate content to keep those visitors coming back.”

Justin joined Catalyst Media’s predecessor Interworx Technologies in 2002.
Justin graduated from Central Queensland University in 2001 with a Bachelors Degree in Information Technology (Software Engineering).

Justin is a member of the Bundaberg Municipal Brass Band and two car clubs. He is developing an arcade game and is also a huge fan of Japanese animation.
While managing a Bundaberg gaming lounge Justin co-wrote a Linux program to track all incoming and outgoing internet traffic. The successful program featured in CeBit two years running and won an Innovation and Government Export Grant.

Justin’s favourite quote is: "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid” (Soren Aabye).
